Francis H. Straus, dedicated pathologist and gifted educator, 1932–2014
Francis H. Straus, professor emeritus of pathology at the University of Chicago, died at his home in Mackinac Island, Mich., on Jan. 8. He was 81 years old.
Straus spent his entire career, from medical school to retirement, at the University of Chicago. He helped train many of the leading surgical pathologists in the country. He was nationally known for his work, together with Drs. Leslie De Groot and Edwin Kaplan, on thyroid pathology. He also made significant contributions to the understanding of other endocrine and urologic disorders.
Although he published two books—Hypoparathyroidism and Essentials of Surgical Pathology—authored 12 book chapters and contributed to nearly 100 research papers, Dr. Straus thought of himself primarily as a teacher and a clinician. He taught the courses in basic pathology and surgical pathology to medical students for decades and was selected by the medical students as one of the school's 20 best teachers 15 times in the 1970s and '80s. For three decades he and his wife, Lorna, developed and co-taught a popular course on mammalian anatomy and physiology for third- and fourth-year students in the College. His philosophy of life, he wrote in a letter to the alumni association, was to help society "by being creative and precise in my practice and teaching."
Straus's colleagues consistently praised his professional skills and treasured his friendship. "He was an outstanding pathologist, a valued colleague, a wonderful friend and the kindest and most thoughtful person," said endocrine surgeon Edwin Kaplan, professor of surgery at the University. "He played an important role in defining the pathogenesis of several endocrine diseases. One of our papers on papillary thyroid cancer, for example, has been cited nearly 900 times."
"Francis was an excellent teacher, thorough and encouraging with the students, as well as a valued member of the thyroid clinical care and research teams," said endocrinologist Leslie DeGroot, professor emeritus of medicine. "I worked with him for 35 years and he was always available to help with the research or to review pathology specimens. No matter what time, day or night, he did his job with kindness and thoughtfulness."
Francis Howe Straus II was born in Chicago on March 16, 1932. He graduated from the Francis W. Parker High School in 1949 and from Harvard University in 1953. He completed medical school at the University of Chicago in 1957, followed by an internship, United States Public Health Fellowship and residency at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics. In 1963, while serving as the chief resident in pathology, he was appointed an instructor in pathology. He was promoted to assistant professor in 1965, associate professor in 1971 and professor in 1978.
Throughout his career, Dr. Straus took on many additional professional roles. He served as president and on the board of directors for the Chicago unit and the Illinois division of the American Cancer Society, for which he was honored with the 2006 St. George Medal, the society's highest distinction for volunteer service. He also lectured widely on endocrine and surgical pathology.
He was active in the University's Medical Staff Organization, serving as its vice president from 1977 to 2001 and as associate director for surgical pathology from 1977 to 2003. He was a member and, for one year, chairman of the medical school admissions committee. He also was a key player on many hospital quality-assurance and laboratory-services committees.
Dr. Straus also had strong interests outside of medicine, including travel, art, architecture, history, classical music and gardening. He was chairman of the faculty advisory committee to the University's Smart Gallery of Art from 1972 to 1984 and a member of the gallery's board from 1984 to 1988.
He also was devoted to his family, which had multi-generational connections to the University of Chicago, medicine and biology. His father was a surgeon and his mother graduated from the University's former joint medical program with Rush Hospital in 1926. In 1955, while in medical school, Straus married Lorna Puttkammer, daughter of a University of Chicago Law School dean and professor. While he completed his MD and residency, she began work on her master's and doctoral degrees and is now a professor emerita in organismal biology and anatomy. She also served as dean of students in the College, dean of admissions and University marshal.
Francis Straus is survived by his wife; their four children: Francis III, a senior member of the legislative staff for the Illinois Speaker of the House; Helen, SB'86, MD'90, an emergency department physician at Cook County's Stroger Hospital; Christopher, AB'88, MD'92, an associate professor of radiology at the University of Chicago; and Michael, a physician assistant in Lansing, Michigan; and two grandchildren.
A memorial service is being planned. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be sent to the Eleanor Humphreys Visiting Professorship Fund, care of the University of Chicago Department of Pathology, 5841 S. Maryland Avenue, Room AMB S-329 (MC 3083), Chicago, Illinois 60637.

While I have my differences and issues with the Ultra-Orthodox lifestyle and philosophy, I truly hope that they take over your neighborhood, drive the prices time, and make every moment of your pathetic secular life miserable. There is no room in Israel or the Jewish people for self-hating Jews like yourself who can't even bare the thought of living in the same neighborhood with Jews who may just happen to believe in God and love their Jewishness. You have to tolerate your own people before you start preaching about tolerating the enemy, who actually wants to kill you rather than just live in your neighborhood
from the article: We should beware of the Jewish Brotherhood

|Reviews for Ironheart
| TheGreenElephant911 chapter 1 . 9/9
Wow. Just
The flow, the connections, the slow yet immediate (?) pacing - it's all perfect. The characterizations, even in the dead. This - THIS has to be my favorite Lin fanfic (reflection?) ever.
Thank you for sharing.
| CrazyAce'n'PokerFace chapter 1 . 2/26/2014
this is lovely in heart-aching ways. :)
| skittyscatter chapter 1 . 9/9/2012
So much symbolism! I love how you managed to integrate all these little things with meaning into the story. And that last line...! Your writing is amazing.
| Checkers Lime Viola chapter 1 . 7/6/2012
Lin-Beifong one of the bamf-est of them all.
| AllGoodUsernamesAreTaken chapter 1 . 7/2/2012
Wow...I'd never seen the kind of depth in Lin's character that you recognized until reading this. I gotta admit, I teared up a little. You write like an absolute pro, i'm awed by all of your pieces. I hope you don't stop writing. If you're not doing it already, I think you should try to write a novel or something. Your skills are immeasurable. I'm jealous. Thanks once again for the incredible read :)
| Megilien chapter 1 . 6/23/2012
I haven't sobbed like a baby over a fic in a LONG time. Thank you so much for writing this beautiful, heart-wrenching fic and doing justice to one of the best characters of the 'Avatar' universe, and to her bond with her mother. THANK YOU!
| Guest chapter 1 . 6/21/2012
What a beautiful story! I'm tearing up. :,( Keep up the good work and I hope you get more reviews for this!
| Bluishorbs chapter 1 . 6/20/2012
Beautiful. I love the continuity throughout, just wonderful.
| ohthelinsanity chapter 1 . 6/20/2012
my heart hurts.
I cannot describe how beautiful this is.
| young dawn chapter 1 . 6/17/2012
Oh my gosh. You really just tore out my heart and set it ablaze with this one. You certainly did justice to the amazing woman that is Lin Bei Fong. I love how you encompassed all the major pieces of her story and really brought them to life. You showed just what makes Lin who she is and reaffirmed why she is the strongest character on this show. I simply can't praise you enough. Well done.
| CC chapter 1 . 6/17/2012
Very insipiring...and sad...I would say that Lin chose well!
| underlings chapter 1 . 6/17/2012
This is amazing. You've captured Lin's thoughts extremely well; this was a great little study of her character.
| Valbrandr chapter 1 . 6/17/2012
Really well done - I love the discussion of choice vs. duty in this story. Lin has the unwavering ability to sacrifice, but the reason behind her decision is what makes it worthwhile.
I'd really like someone to write a fanfiction about Toph's death - as in the actual event, not just other characters' reactions. Have you ever given it a thought? :)
| duskks chapter 1 . 6/17/2012
Amazing doesn't even begin to describe this. It was beautifully tragic and everything Lin is. Magnificent job on this.
| whispered touches chapter 1 . 6/17/2012
A favorite and a review is not adequate to tell you how much I loved this.

I have received unbelievable care from Dr. Hudson, Dr. Graham and all of the staff, from those who were dealing with financials, to the front desk, to the cleaning staff. Every single one of them treated us with the greatest care during one of the most difficult times in my life. He conveyed realistic expectations of outcome and balanced hope and optimism with the reality of our unique situation. I am sad to be leaving his care as we move on to the foreign world of prenatal care. I will miss them all, but after three tries of ivf in one year, I am definitely ready :-)

Dr. Hudson and his team are absolutely the most compassionate caregivers I have ever experienced. My husband and I have been through all kinds of fertility related issues and they have never given up on us. Ever. The other I finally received some good news and two staff members called together to tell me the positive results. Just thinking about this kind gesture has me in tears. But there have also been moments when we have cried laughing too. This is not a journey for the light of heart...it can push you to your limits...but if you choose to work through your fertility concerns Dr. Hudson and his team are world class. You will not find better care. Sure there may be some disappointment along the way but the possibilities are well worth it.

Dr. Hudson is an incredibly kind, caring and competent doctor. He never gave up on us in all of the five years of treatment, and now we are pregnant! The entire staff has always been so attentive - I've always felt like they are part of our family.

In 1991, I became pregnant with my first child. I was unhappy with my care, I was overwight and feeling vunerable. I was recommended to Dr Hudson. I was cared for with kindness, respect and above all the best in medical care. I then conceived my second child in 1994, and the same treatment. Dr Hudson moved after that, and I referred friends in Victoria who needed a brilliant Dr.
My move to Victoria was one I never thought would happen, and my daughter then had issues that needed trusted care. We were being bounced around, she was in pain and I knew who I prayed would help. He not only saw us ( she isn't pregnant, nor having struggles to become pregnant) he took us in and cared for her. She is pain free, and we as a Family owe him the health of our two beautiful children, and the adult care of one he delivered. He is one of two Dr's in my life I have trusted without question. Thanks do not begin to explain how we feel. Perhaps this does in a small way.

I could go on listing all the wonderful things Dr Hudson and his staff have done for us over a long IVF struggle but this comment would become too long and no one would read it. So instead let me say that Dr. Hudson and his staff are the most caring, compassionate and professional people we ever had the luck to meet. I am shocked to see some negative reviews, but can also understand where they may be originating from. IF is a heart-wrenching struggle and there are a lot of bitter feelings along the journey, especially if it is a long journey. All I can tell you that Dr. Hudson kept the faith in us for 6 hard years and never gave up on us. We now have a child thanks to his expertise, care, tenacity and dedication. Words cannot adequately convey the gratitude we will forever have for him and his staff.

Dr.Hudson and his staff are top notch- my husband and I are from Calgary and did a phone consultation with Dr.Hudson for IVF. He was knowledgable, honest, caring and very informative. His staff have been amazing dealing with my annoying phone calls and anxiety over several months, and for that I am very grateful. My husband and I were lucky enough to get pregnant naturally only a month before our IVF was to go ahead, so I cannot say anything about the IVF program, however our experience up to that point was incredible. If we do need to do IVF in the future, we will 100% be coming to Dr.Hudson.

The ferry docks in the tiny port of Charlestown on the Caribbean island of Nevis and a noisy flurry of meeting and greeting, unloading and unpacking takes place. We have completed the short journey from sister island St Kitts to explore the historical richness of Nevis, named by Columbus when he first sailed past its shores in 1493.
Not many people would think of Chicago as a holiday destination. Many see it as a stop-off to somewhere else, since it is one end of Route 66 and a major hub for United Airlines.
This was right up there, dare I say it, with the day I was married and the births of my two children. The glorious red sandstone canyons of Sedona (most famous being the Grand Canyon) are breathtaking any time of the day, but when you're hurtling through them in a helicopter with no doors and just a single strap between you and fresh air, boy do they take on a whole different dimension.
June and July in St Kitts may be high summer, but it is low season as far as the tourism industry is concerned.
I loved being at sea. Not having to pack and unpack made me feel settled.
The mile-high city of Denver, famed for the Dynasty TV series (remember those padded shoulders and over-the-top fashion the women wore?). It's not just a place to land before heading on to the Interstate 70 Highway to Vail, Aspen or Crested Butte ski resorts.
Orlando is famous for the Disney attractions and a nightlife zone the size of Manchester. Together they attract British holidaymakers in droves. Yet, I couldn't help wondering whether the region of Orlando and Kissimmee is a destination in its own right?
Perhaps it helped to be travelling in the slipstream of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Rain stopped play - three words to dampen the spirits of any cricket aficionado.
The small Caribbean island may be only a 10-hour flight away on the other side of the Atlantic, but you are greeted by scenes you would have thought probably only possible in paradise: beautiful blue skies, the ocean lapping at the side of the runway, and scorching sunshine.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
A Crack In Ovechkin's Game
by Paul on 02/26/10 at 10:13 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Edward Fraser of The Hockey News,
None of us know the details regarding Alex Ovechkin shoving a person with a camera in the wake of Russia's embarrassing 7-3 loss at the hands of the Canadians, but no matter what the circumstances, the Capitals and/or the NHL need to send a message by suspending him.
The once-congenial and ultra-media-friendly Ovechkin has shown progressive cracks in his off-ice demeanor for some time now, culminating with his Olympic availability where he essentially ignored the English media during the tournament.

Moral education is missingJanuary 08,2013
I wish to thank T. Elijah Hawkes for his commentary on school safety (Jan. 3). He is trying to address a very difficult issue. However, I have to disagree with his basic premise that public schools ... make us safer. I think a reasonable argument could be made that today the opposite is true. Our schools are not allowed to teach that absolute truth and accompanying moral obligations exist. When they did teach those ideas in the past, they provided us with a common understanding and helped to make our society safer and more civil. However, the trend in the last 60 years has been to enforce a secular humanist education in public schools. This philosophy holds that there is no higher power to which we are responsible and which will hold us accountable. When followed to its logical conclusion, eventually all that remains are our individual subjective values. No value is right or wrong, and we cannot judge anyone. Our society appears to be at that point.
Having reached that point, the question is who has the power to enforce their values. Power becomes the only decision-making tool. That has happened throughout our society. We no longer respect the other person as a person; their value is based on their utility to us. When they oppose us, everything is focused on defeating them and imposing our values. This has made for a dangerous and combative society, not a safe one. The public schools have been the major tool to bring our society to accept the secular humanist worldview. This worldview has brought pain and turmoil to our society. We are less civil and less safe, and public schools are a significant factor.

I would love to hear anyone's experience that they have had. I just had an MRI arthrogram and found out that I have a tear in my right hip labral muscle. I have had seriously severe debilitating pain in my hip muscles that I had no idea it was because of a muscle tear.
Anyways, the doctor I just went to didn't give me much information so I would love anyone's experiences or advice. How were you treated? Medications, therapy, surgery etc?
Thanks so much!View Thread
I have been having chronic pain mostly in my legs starting about a year and a half ago when I started standing for long periods of time due to the job i had at the time. I have been tested for arthritis and got back mixed positive and negative results. According to a physical therapist I had, because my left leg is shorter than the right, it causes problems in the way I walk and has put my right hip out of place and puts strain on my muscles which causes muscle knots and tension.
I am going to see a new doctor because the pain has seriously become debilitating, everywhere I go I spend the whole time trying to stretch and get rid of this tension in specific places in my leg that comes on every day.
My question is, what to tell my doctor about me being on suboxone. It's obviously really embarrassing and it's something I am really ashamed to tell anyone, especially a medical professional who will make judgments on how to treat me based on my past behavior. I have spent years trying out all other options as far as pain relief and haven't found anything that works well for me. However, because I take suboxone, the only opiate that I would be able to take is tramadol. I feel like I would be prevented access to pain relief because of my lack of self control as a teenager (why I am on suboxone), if I told him I am on it. However, if I don't, he probably wouldn't prescribe me tramadol, and I feel like if I specifically request tramadol I would come off as a drug seeker.
I feel like he will think I am lying about being in pain. Once my other doctors have found out I have used drugs in the past, they treat me completely differently and obviously make treatment choices based on the assumption that I am a drug seeker.
Any advice or your own experiences would be so greatly appreciated.

Sonics fans would argue that Shawn Kemp was the greatest dunker of the 1990's. Guys like Jordan, Wilkins, Drexler, Rice and many more including Spud Webb and Mugsey Bogues would have something to say about that.
Who do you think was the best?
It's been discussed since before we found out that the Kings were ultimately staying in Sacramento. Phil Jackson, the former Bulls and Lakers coach with eleven championships (coaching) was targeted to be a part of Chris Hansen's Sonics.
Neither Hansen or Jackson had ever publicly commented about their discussions before the NBA Board Of Governors voted to keep the Sacramento Kings from relocating. The Kings were eventually sold to Vivek Ranadive for $535 million. $90 million less than the offer the Seattle group had made the Maloof family.
Since the news broke, Jackson has been on multiple TV and radio shows such as Jimmy Kimmel and The Dan Patrick Show promoting his book.
Jackson has confirmed that Hansen had offered him his pick of any role he would have liked with the Supersonics. The Zen Master specifically referenced advisory roles as well as an ownership opportunity in the discussions. Whether he'd be interested in coaching in Seattle isn't clear, although, Jackson has pointed out many times that he wouldn't coach again in the NBA.
Check out his appearance on The Dan Patrick Show below and tell us what you think about arguably the greatest coach in the NBA's history nearly becoming a high-profile figure with the Supersonics.
Initial reports are that the NBA Board of Governors have voted to keep the Kings in Sacramento. Various media outlets and reporters are commenting that "high level" sources have confirmed the results of the vote.
The Seattle group led by Chris Hansen went into their meeting with the BOG which lasted approximately 30 minutes.
The Sacramento contingent consisting of Mayor Kevin Johnson and Vivek Ranadive and other then had their chance. Their meeting exceeded the time Seattle was given and was closer to an hour.
The two groups each retreated without comment after their respective meetings and the NBA's owners took a break in the lobby which many reporters stated was filled with a few animated discussions. David Stern was seen joining Mark Cuban and others in the talks.
Breaking: Final score: 22-8.22 NBA owners say no to relocating Kings while 8 ok the move.
— mitch levy (@kjrmitch) May 15, 2013
We're just waiting on the press conference to begin which can be seen here.
Today is the day that hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people have waited for. Two cities, both with hopes of an NBA team playing in their town next season expect the decision of NBA team owners on the future of the Sacramento Kings franchise.
The back story has been well documented here at SSC as well as many other local and national media outlets. I won't go into that in this post. If you need to get caught up you can read that by clicking the following links.
It started with:
Then evolved into:
And then:
And finally…
There, now you're all up to date.
Here is what both sides want to hear from the NBA tomorrow.
What Sacramento wants to hear:
Sacramento expects to hear that the NBA will not allow the relocation of the Kings to Seattle, upholding the 7-0 vote by the committee, and will also not approve Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmers to purchase the Kings from the Maloof family.
They would like the Maloof's to then sell their share in the Kings to the ownership group led by Vivek Ranadive. Ranadive currently owns a stake on the Golden State Warriors and has become the "whale" that Sacramento Mayor, Kevin Johnson, was in search of since the sale of the Kings to Hansen was first reported.
What Seattle wants to hear:
Seattle fans on the other hand would love to hear an official announcement that the NBA Relocation Committee has approved the request to relocate the Kings to Seattle, something that the Maloof family had submitted paperwork for months ago.
Following the approval of the move, the NBA would support the sale of the team to the Hansen/Ballmer group for a record amount and the Sonics would be playing in Key Arena in a few short months.
This would not only set the precedent that all NBA owners can sell their franchise to whomever they wish, but would also establish a new record for what an NBA team is worth – upwards of $600 million or more. Every franchises value would go up. Ownership in an NBA team would be even more sought after and profitable, partly because the NBA would be bringing the Kings to a larger TV market and would be guaranteed to receive yearly payments from the Sonics for the competitive balance pool.
What will likely happen:
The NBA is in a very difficult situation. It's a no-win kind of situation if you look at everything that has been reported in the past few days and months.
The only, and I mean only way that the NBA can truly come out of this looking like the good guys is by allowing the Sacramento Kings to stay in Sacramento with a new ownership group. An ownership group that does not include Chris Hansen or Steve Ballmer. Or the Maloof's, who the NBA desperately wants to exile from the ownership ranks.
Seattle fans have to admit that Sacramento has fought tooth and nail for their team. It absolutely deserves to keep it.
This however wouldn't be a winning situation for the NBA. Not with another city deserving of a team and that has gone beyond what they should have to do to get a team after theirs was stolen years ago.
This is why I think the NBA will announce that it will grant an expansion team to the city of Seattle. Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer will be allowed to pay expansion fees and a new team will be established in the Pacific Northwest within 2-3 years.
It's likely Hansen will consider this somewhat of a loss as he has fought for the NBA to begin playing games in Key Arena this upcoming season. This is the best scenario that the NBA can come up with to please two rabid fanbases as well as maintain a positive image across the country.
Expansion would cause other issues. The league would have uneven teams and Commissioner David Stern has claimed expansion was not possible for at least three years. I think Seattle is an exception in this case.
Today is the perfect opportunity for the NBA to please the millions of fans in both markets with what they want – to watch NBA basketball in their city again.
Not only has Chris Hansen raised his offer for the Kings for the third time, by $75 million, but the Maloofs and Hansen have come to terms on a backup plan in case the NBA doesn't allow the group to purchase the Kings.
The news is significant enough that the NBA has scheduled another meeting for the relocation committee before the full owners contingent meet for a final vote.
The deal would allow Hansen-Ballmer to buy 20% of the Kings and would keep the Maloofs as the primary owners. This would open up so many different possibilities for Hansen and Ballmer to buy the remaining portion of the Kings that would be required to have a majority stake of the team within a few years.
ESPN has the story with all the juicy details.
Sounds like really good news, right?
Early this afternoon, Seattle Supersonics nation took a collective punch to the stomach after hearing that the NBA Relocation Committee voted unanimously 12-0 in favor of keeping the Kings in Sacramento.
Leaving Seattle once again, with the short end of the stick.
Being a diehard Seattle sports fan for 20 years, I have gone through my fair share of collegiate and professional heartache. I've witnessed a 0-12 Husky football season, and I've seen my beloved Mariners struggle for the past decade.
But after today's news on the Sonics not returning in the fall, NOTHING compares to what I feel now.
I feel like a a nine-year-old child waiting for Santa Claus to bring presents under my tree on Christmas morning, only to wake up to nothing. I feel lied to, betrayed, but mostly, I just feel sadness, sadness that I will not be watching the Sonics this fall.
It's been nearly three years since Chris Hansen publicly said he was interested in bringing the Sonics back home to Seattle and until now, there had been nothing but optimistic feelings around the team potentially coming back.
Everything the NBA wanted, Hansen accomplished.
When the NBA said you needed a sound ownership group, Hansen contacted Microsoft co-founder Steve Ballmer and Eric and Peter Nordstrom to join him in his hunt to bring basketball back to the Northwest.
Then Hansen needed to convince both King County and the City of Seattle that the arena proposal was a sound one. A task that Howard Schultz was unable to accomplish just five years ago, which is what ultimately resulted in the teams departure. But after a long grueling process, Hansen, yet again was able to close the deal.
Hansen was even able to become a majority owner of the Kings earlier this year after the Maloof brothers (current owners of the Sacramento Kings) agreed to a purchase agreement of the team for $550 million dollars.
But despite all of Hansen's efforts and the fact that his ownership group is light-years ahead of anything brewing in Sacramento, NBA Commissioner David Stern has still given Seattle the middle finger.
If you're looking for someone to shove your frustration to, do not look at Hansen, Ballmer or the Nordstrom brothers. They have gone above and beyond in their efforts to bring basketball back to our city, and without them we never would have had optimism in the first place.
Instead, direct your anger towards Stern. For those who are not aware of Stern's tactics, he is a conniving but intelligent attorney who has been Commissioner of the NBA since 1984. He has relocated six NBA teams during his tenure, including our Sonics moving to OKC in 2008.
Last October Stern announced his retirement for February of 2014, which many believed would bode well for Seattle in getting a team back, hoping he (Stern) would want to right the wrongs of his past and bring a team back to Seattle.
But after today's revelations that assumption couldn't be farther from the truth.
Stern is a very egotistical man who deeply cares about his legacy as commissioner and moving seven teams in almost 30 doesn't look all that great and in the end, that is why I believe the Hansen group got the FU from Stern.
You can also blame Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson. Johnson played 12 seasons in the NBA with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Phoenix Suns from the late 80's to early 2000's.
I don't feel anger towards Johnson, but honestly I am envious of him. I am envious that the city of Sacramento has a leader who was willing to do whatever it took to keep his cities struggling franchise. A leader I wish Seattle had just five years ago. If this was any city other than Sacramento, I truly believe Seattle would have basketball come October. But due to Johnson's ferocious efforts, all signs are pointing that the Kings will not leave under his watch.
But in all reality, none of those men would even be discussed if it weren't for Seattle Mayor Greg Nichols, who was mayor when the Sonics left. For those who don't remember, Nichols didn't even do the bare minimum in trying to keep professional basketball in Seattle. Instead, he settled with Oklahoma businessman Clay Bennett and let the Sonics leave without even hearing a verdict from a judge.
Nichols for the city of Seattle was the polar opposite of what Johnson was for the city of Sacramento. And it is Nichols, not Stern or Johnson, who is truly to blame for why basketball is not here.
It looks like all we can do is wait and see. I know that's the last thing anyone wants to hear, but it is the only option we have left.
The city of Seattle is the biggest bargaining chip that the NBA has. Whenever a team is struggling to make money or struggling to build a new arena, all the NBA has to do is point up north to Seattle and say "Hey if you don't get your stuff together, we have a place where your team can go."
But other than that it appears Seattle won't have basketball in the forseeable future.
There have been rumors of expansion, but with a lot of owners already losing money on a year-to-year basis why would league owners agree to give up an additional 3% of an already diluted amount of money?
No one knows what will happen for sure, but many have speculated all Seattle can do is to continue to wait for a current NBA franchise to struggle and hopefully Hansen can try and buy that team.
The NBA Owners will officially vote on the possible (but unlikely) relocation of the Kings on May 13. Seattle will need 23 yes' out of 30 for the Kings to be moved.
That's how many people signed up for season ticket packages when Chris Hansen gave Seattle an opportunity to show its support for the Sonics.
Tomorrow, Chris Hansen, Steve Ballmer, Kevin Johnson and others will meet in New York to make their pitch for why their respective groups should have the opportunity to either keep the Sacramento Kings where they are, with new ownership, or to relocate the team to Seattle.
Hansen and Ballmer just added 44,000 more reasons to why the NBA needs a team in Seattle.
Also released was that almost 1,000 businesses asked about potential sponsorship with a Seattle NBA team. The corporate money is in Seattle. Not Sacramento.
Seattle is expected to grow by 60% in the next 30 years. Sacramento is projected for minimal growth. In the short-term and especially in the long-term, Seattle is the right choice for an NBA franchise when you compare it to what Sacramento has to offer.
MyNorthWest.com had a piece on why Seattle makes more sense. The best excerpt:
Here are Pyeatt's Top Ten reasons to move the Kings from Sacramento to Seattle:
1. Larger TV Market in Seattle, and a regional TV deal here would be "five to ten times larger" he estimates.2. Seattle is currently at 3.5 million people, Washington State 6.9 million people, compared with Sacramento metropolitan statistical area (MSA) of 1.9 million.
3. Seattle region expected to grow 60 percent in the next 30 years, Sacramento expects minimal growth.
4. Seattle's economy is strong and growing, Sacramento is weak and struggling.
5. Seattle is the Gateway to the Pacific Rim, Sacramento is the gateway to Stockton.
6. Our area has Microsoft, Boeing, Amazon, Paccar, Costco, Weyerhaeuser, Nordstrom and "some Lame Coffee company" (he still can't bring himself to say the word Starbucks). Sacramento has Sleep Train and Cal State Prison.
7. 41 years of NBA history in Seattle with 3 NBA finals, 1 NBA title. Sacramento 5th home for the Kings where they've made several playoff appearances.
8. Local Owners – Ballmer, Hansen, Nordstroms. Sacramento – Out of town owners.
9. State of the art Arena in design stages. Sacramento – Mid level arena proposed.
10. Kevin Calabro!
Update: Mark Mastrov has indeed made an offer to the NBA that Yahoo is reporting to be "slightly less" than the offer made by Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer of the Seattle SuperSonics group.
With Mastrov's bid in, the two sides will now wait for the NBA Board of Governors to meet on April 18-19th to make a decision.
Seattle's bid is considered to be the favorite seeing how the monetary value is greater both in the price being offered for the franchise and the potential revenue that would be generated by moving the team to the 12th largest TV market. Sacramento is the 20th.
Expect both sides to make a bid on the 7% share of the team that is being sold in bankruptcy court. It's not clear if the new owners of this share will be allowed to make a "right of first refusal" offer and it shouldn't be a surprise if more legal battles come before a resolution can be found.
I'll start of by saying that I respect Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson tremendously for his role in trying to prevent the Kings from moving. If the Seattle government had put up half of this kind of effort we wouldn't be having this debate and we'd be watching Kevin Durant star for the SuperSonics.
I however do not respect Johnson for his inability to share the entire picture with when it comes to the situation at hand. Johnson paints Seattle as a city incapable of hosting an NBA franchise and makes claims that Sacramento is gods gift to the NBA. If a team leaves the Sacramento market the NBA will cease to be a profitable business. Or so Mayor Johnson would like you to think.
I understand that the people of Sac-town are angry with us trying to take their team. If it wasn't us, it'd be some other city. Kansas City and Las Vegas are just a few of the towns that have been desperate for an NBA team.
What I don't understand is the attacks coming out of Sacramento.
…We are still very much in this game," Johnson said in a speech. "I hope Seattle gets a team someday. Let me be crystal clear: It's not going to be this team. Not our team. No way." – Johnson
But let's get down to the real business before I get myself into too much trouble.
Johnson held his State of the City presser and the topic everyone was waiting for was for the big reveal of the "whales" the media has hyped. No big surprises were revealed as the two men who were rumored as far as a few weeks back were in fact the whales.
Mark Mastrov, the 24/7 fitness franchise owner is to be the principal owner of the Kings and billionaire Ron Burkle will be the man behind getting a new arena built in downtown Sacramento.
Mastrov is worth ~ $350 million so it's unclear how he alone could make a competitive offer for the franchise. Burkle hasn't been identified as a member of the group attempting to buy the Kings – although it isn't out of the realm of possibility.
The offer that Mastrov and company do make, which is rumored to be just under what the Seattle team has made, will have to be to the NBA. The Maloofs can't legally field any offers because they have already agreed to sell the team to the Hansen/Ballmer group.
The NBA Board of Governors will now rule on the sale and/or decide what to do with any bid made by the Sacramento investors. Although Johnson, Mastrov and Burkle are making every attempt to keep the team from relocating and fighting harder than Seattle ever did to keep their team, it seems like it's still a losing battle.

Personal interests are activities someone enjoys outside of work, such as playing sports, spending time with family, watching movies and reading. It's common for an interviewer to ask a candidate about his personal interests to learn more about his personality and life beyond work.Know More
Spending time with family is a broad interest, and some interviewers perceive it as a generic answer. Therefore, it is better to offer some specific examples of family activities, such as boating, swimming, camping and hiking.
When preparing for a job interview, it's important to plan the types of interests to bring up in response to a hiring manager's question. "I don't really have many interests," or "I spend all my time working," aren't effective responses to most interviewers. The point of the question is typically to see that a candidate has passions and maintains balance in life.
Pongo points out that it's best not to include certain controversial or divisive interests in the interview. Political and religious interests are sometimes taboo, unless a person has a particular reason he wants to disclose his faith. The best thing to do is share three to five genuine hobbies or interests. It's a good move to share personal interests that convey character traits a hiring manager would like. Noting interests in travel and sightseeing fit well for a job where the employer wants someone with a sense of adventure.Learn more about Psychology

"A fantastic 'tidy-up', self-care, app that will make those day-by-day duties real fun, at least on the app. Really easy to use, with cute illustrations and nice sound feedback. Certainly a keeper." - apps4kids.net
"Amazing for children with disabilities, specially with autism" - i-sen.cz
"PEPI BATH would be a great way to introduce your kid to the concept of toilet training. It is yet another beautifully designed and easy-to-use app for kids" - lilmagoolie.com
I know it never happened to you! PEPI's hands are dirty, her hair stands up and there are grass stems and leaves between her teeth. Should PEPI clean herself? Why is she frowning? Have you soaped her nose by accident? Try popping soap bubbles, or maybe help PEPI wash her clothes. And do not forget to hang them out to dry. Here is much to do!
PEPI BATH is a role-play game where children learn about hygiene in a fun way.
The app has 4 parts as different situations in which this cute character PEPI – a boy or a girl to choose – appears: at the sink, washing clothes, going to a toilet and taking a bath.
PEPI BATH can be played both as a set process of cleaning or without any pre-set sequence, where the player is free to choose what they do.
In PEPI BATH cleaning is fun. Besides washing PEPI's hands or brushing teeth kid can pop soap bubbles or play with colorful sprayers, funny duck or many other. The game is full of similar mini tasks and small surprises.
PEPI characters respond interactively and express their emotions. Even objects in PEPI BATH are like little characters.
Recommended ages: 2-6

This is a fab game and for me gives you an idea on what maybe your children will be like with these situations ! No problems with this, but to make it even more great add things like dressing up and accessorising . It is a fantastic app but I don't have children so really this is practise for me! So are other games like toca boca which is great for kids. In the future a 2nd one of this should be released. Kind regards, Joshua AKA Joshy!
It's alright but...
You should really add a section where you can dry after being in the bath, you know? Everything else is quite good but I just think there should be just a bit more.
I do recommend this along with the other Pepi apps.
My daughter loves this
It is amazing really good I just wish it was bigger and longer. I wish they would make more of these apps they are really good.

The Knicks star becomes an investor in the NASL, which is just a rung below MLS.
Well, he's not busy with the NBA playoffs, so why not?
If nothing else, it certainly changed the subject from how badly he played.
The Knicks forward thinks the team's episodes of racial insensitivity have made it anathema to potential free agents.
The New York Daily News is reporting that Carmelo Anthony will stay with the Knicks under a max contract -- $129 million over five years.
Knicks' Raymond Felton also suffers an injury ahead of the NBA's big day of hoops.
Third knee procedure in less than a year is a surprise, but forward says he'll be ready after training camp.
Treatment for the Knicks forward will first involve rest.
Return to Denver is ruined as Anthony returns to New York.
Knicks outscore Cavs 72-45 after Anthony goes out in second quarter.

NEW YORK (AP) Comments on the Seattle Seahawks by the AP Pro32 panel (ranking in parentheses):
Chris Berman (ESPN, 7) - First back-to-back 50-point games since 1950.
Clifton Brown (Sporting News, 3) - Something special is brewing in Seattle, and it's not just the coffee.
Cris Collinsworth (NBC Sports, 7)
Rich Gannon (CBS Sports/SiriusXM NFL Radio, 7) - Quickly climbing up the charts each week and figuring out how to win on the road.
Bob Glauber (Newsday, 7) - Pete Carroll's team is heating up at the right time with 108 points combined in the last two games. Now he'll try and do a number on the 49ers at home.
Rick Gosselin (Dallas Morning News, 7) - The Seahawks rank just 16th in the NFL in offense. But you wouldn't know it by their games the last two weeks. Seattle has scored a combined 108 points in whipping Arizona (58-0) and Buffalo (50-17).
Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 7) - Let's see these guys score 50 or more against the 49ers. It won't happen. But a victory could, and that would tell the Seahawks they can play with anyone ... so long as it's in Seattle.
Ira Kaufman (Tampa Tribune, 6) - Pete Carroll's marauding crew certainly has the attention of the 49ers.
Pat Kirwan (SiriusXM NFL Radio/CBSSports.com, 6) - 108 points in the last two games is a strong statement. The showdown against the 49ers is days away.
John Lynch (Fox Sports, 7) - Domination the last two weeks by the Seahawks! Seattle has outscored opponents 108-17 the last two weeks. If QB Russell Wilson continues to play like this, this defense is for real and this team can make some noise in the postseason.
Alex Marvez (Foxsports.com, 7) - Even if they beat San Francisco on Sunday night, it's looking like the Seahawks will enter the playoffs as the NFL's most dangerous wild-card team.
Dan Pompei (Chicago Tribune, 7) - Hot? You want hot? They have won their last two games by a combined score of 108-17. We'll see what they really are made of when they host the Niners Sunday night.
